Thank you lots for this vid man. I just found a brand new router of this brand oddly at charity for like $7 bucks lol.. Your video helped me get it setup quick and easy though. Gotta love that Nighthawk app Netgear has setup too for android. Helps a ton as well for easy maintenance.
What happens if I’m not getting any internet connection when I plug in the ethernet from my modem into the yellow port on the router. The weird thing I plug in the cable into one of the 4 lines and I get an internet connection wirelessly. Should I be returning this router?
What happens or what do I do if I don't have a modem which I don't. What do I do? Please help me because I need to get this set up and running today. Thanks
I would recommend a physical LAN connection for the gaming system whenever possible. But if everything must be in WiFi, I would make sure the gaming system is in its own WiFi network (5ghz preferably, but not necessary) and the others use a different network. This router can accommodate all of that. My biggest concern would be how many other WiFi networks you have in your area that are overlapping. If you go to your WiFi networks and you see more than 3 networks that come from your neighbors routers, I would recommend a tri-band router if you have the budget for it. But if you don't see a bunch of WiFi networks coming up, this r6900 router should work just fine for you.
If my computer is logged into the netgear router wifi will it decrease my Xbox signal since it’s wired connection? Because I can’t access the website since I have to be logged in to it
Very helpful video. Explains everything in a easy to understand way.

Thank you for your information, much better than the manufacturer!
Thank you!
This helped very much for a non techy like me.

The netgear nighthawk is my only router. I don’t have any old routers. Where do I go from there?
I used the MAC from a computer on my network, that worked too.
Thank you so much I just sat on hold for an hour and figured it out before they answered the phone 🙏🏾
Nice! Glad it worked!
My R6900p I thought was not working and I reset the unit. Now I can't use the router. Any help you can offer would be appreciated.
Should I get this if I have 200mbps/10mbps speeds. Is the router overkill or should I see this a future proof device?

i plugged mine in turned it off and on factory reset and everything but it dosent show up on the wifi list and is just blinking white on the power led
Thank you.Very helpful but not sure what you mean when you say to turn off data. Could you be more specific? Thank you
He is talking about mobile data. Like Verizon etc.
Good video. But this method did not work for me. Netgear R7450
I bought mine but the connection on it is only like 1 bar or 2 bars and I checked the speed it’s only 5 how do I fix this?
Could I use the cable box because I don’t have the internet router?
Is there a difference between using the MAC address of the modem versus the MAC address of the router?
Thank you! Great directions and to the point.
What do I do if it won’t let me log on to the 5g one
So if I'm just getting this for WiFi purposes only is there any need at all for the other steps after just plugging it in?
Nope. Just plugging it in would be fine! Maybe do a factory reset if it's a second hand router.
@@HomeNetworkCentral Thanks man, wound up getting the XR300 and getting it all registered. Thanks for the info bro!
How good is this router for gaming and having 4-5 people using kindles and laptops at the same time?

Home Network Central there’s only 2 other WiFi networks that show up on my WiFi list in my area
Good video❗️
I don't have a modem just a router
I put in all the numbers in the video and my interwebz still won’t wok Preez hep

What do you mean that it will not work on data. Disable data? Lost me.
